Optical Light Sources

Configurable multi-channel optical light source offered with several emitter types (ITLA, DFB, Fabry Perot, LED, SLED) across single mode, PM and multimode fiber. Available bench top or rack mount with front panel and remote control.

Optical Light Sources

Technical overview

Source coverage spans 1250-1650 nm on single mode fiber, 1525-1575 nm on single mode PM fiber and 800-1370 nm on multimode fiber, with output above 3 dBm and stability inside plus/minus 0.03 nm. The published specification table is for the standard DFB offering: 22 standard wavelengths from 850 to 1625 nm, wavelength accuracy inside plus/minus 1 nm, output at least 3 dBm, -3 dB bandwidth under 0.1 nm and side-mode suppression above 35 dB. The manufacturer states other source types and additional wavelengths are available but does not publish their figures.
